Heat Island Institute International Outline for Journal Authors
Instituted June 1, 2007

The Heat Island Institute Journal’s guidelines formanuscript authors are as follows.
1. Language of submissions
Submissions are written in Japanese or in English.
The following guidelines are for the case ofsubmissions in the Japanese language. If thesubmission is in English, the guidelines for themanuscript title in Japanese and the author name inJapanese do not need to be followed, and the entire
document may be written in English.
2. Format
The format of the academic papers or technicalreports is as described in the separate document “Howto Prepare a Journal and Technical Paper for HI3”(9) If foreign names are written in katakana, dependingon the case, the foreign names in the original
language should be given in parentheses.
(10) Chapter and section headings should be insans-serif typeface and left-justified. Sections
should be numbered 1, 2, 3, and subsections 1.1,1.2, then 2.1, 2.2, and so on. Items should benumbered (1), (2) or a., b., and so on.
4. Title and author

Japanese and English.
5. Figures and photographs

are as described in the separate “How to Prepare aJournal and Technical Paper for HI3”.

(1) The manuscript must use A4 paper and be writtenhorizontally.

(2) Figures (including photographs) and tables should
be appropriate and important.

(2) The manuscript should be written in formal
language (de aru form) and use

Figure 1, Figure 2, ...
Table 1, Table 2, ...

References in the body of the text should benumbered consecutively with a reference number totheir top and right, in the form (1)(2) or (1)-(3).
(2) If there are multiple authors of the paper, all authors
should be listed where possible. It is acceptable toomit the word “and” from the list of authors. Whenthe journal name is abbreviated, the format of“Chemical Abstracts” is followed.
(3) The format of references is as follows:
